Great Doctor. Puts you right at ease. Explains everything. Couldnt get better.

My visit with Dr. Kaplitt went well, he was very nice and most of all veryinformative. He took the time to explain everything so that I would completely understand the treatments available to me for my Essential Tremors.The staff was also very nice and helpful, it was a very good experience.

I brought my Dad to Dr. Kaplitt this week to see if he was a candidate for the Neuravive procedure to help Essential Tremor patients. My Father was originally misdiagnosed with Parkinsons and then ET. Hes been treated with pharmacological interventions for ET for more than 4 years by multiple neurologists connected with Stony Brook University Hospital, none of which have worked. Turns out Dr. Kaplitt, within meeting my Dad for no more than 15 minutes believed he was misdiagnosed and does not in fact have ET, but another movement disorder. He referred my Dad to a neurologist who specializes in that particular disorder. After over 5 years of progressively losing right hand function, we finally have hope. The wealth of knowledge, caring and expertise demonstrated by Dr. Kaplitt and his staff is unmatched. A simple google search will unearth an array of videos documenting the life changing impact Dr. Kaplitts research and practice have had on patients. If you suffer from ET or need a surgical intervention that falls under the umbrella of this fine doctors expertise youll do yourself a great favor by making an appointment and seeking him or his teams help.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Kaplitt. He listens, answers all my questions and explains everything in detail.

Dr. Kaplitt is an excellent doctor. He answered all of my questions and helped me understand the different options I have with respect to my treatment. His compassion coupled with his vast knowledge made me feel more confident in taking the next steps with my medical treatment.

I had Dr Kaplitt for my spinal stimulater implant procedure. Being I had two prior back surgeries I was very concerned on how this would go. He was very professional answered all my questions and the staff was top notch. The procedure was flawless. I want to thank him and his staff for a job well done.

A virtuoso! Brilliant! And compassionate. He made me confident that he was the best surgeon for my neurological problem. And Kristin is a wizard with her logistical magic!

Dr. Kaplitt and I had a virtual visit. It went extremely well. He was very prompt and professional but relaxed so I was comfortable. He was very thorough with explaining the procedure but not condescending. He did not rush. He took his time and answered all my questions.

I WANT TO THANK DR. KAPLITT FOR HIS EXCELLENT PRESENTATION OF THE MRI TYPE PROCEDURE ON THE BRAIN TO ELIMINATE MY SEVERE ESSENTIAL TREMORS..DR. KAPLITT REVIEWED HIS SUCCESS OF THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY, AND CLEARLY EXPLAINED THE PROCEDURE, AND THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THIS PROCEDURE WHICH HAVE BEEN TEMPORARY TO HIS PATIENTS.

I WILL BE EVALUATING THE RISKS AS I HAVE OTHER HEALTH CONCERNS.THANK YOU FOR EXPLORING WITH ME THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY WHICH WILL IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE.

Dr. Kaplitt is a caring thorough physician. He has made more progress in a few days than other doctors have in 14 years.

I first saw Dr. Kaplitt two years ago and my experience since then has been exceptional. I recommend him without reservation and I am gratified that my view appears to be shared by a large group of patients, as reflected in the other reviews. On top of everything he is both personable and empathic. Kristen and the other members of staff are also exceptional.

Professional. Offered detailed description of procedure. Answered all questions clearly.All staff were efficient, courteous.I have recommended Dr Kaplitt

A very thorough and knowledgable doctor. Highly recommend.

Excellent communication. Dr Kaplitt explained my condition in terms my wife and I both completely understood. He took all the time we needed to grasp his explanations. We are fortunate to be in a wait and see period, but if intervention is needed, we have nothing but confidence in Dr Kaplitt.Ed&Amy Grossman

Dedicated neurosurgeon, who, I would not trade for anyone else when it comes to Deep Brain Stimulation for Dystonia. Have had it since 2004. Gives you the facts straight out about risks, problems, programming issues. Does not tow a company line. His first priority is always the patient, you. Just a compassionate physician. With Kristin, his NP, best DBS team on the East Coast. Highly recommendable.

Saw Dr. Kaplitt for the first time last week. Very good doctor, explained a lot to my mother and me about her condition and took his time with us, even though we arrived late. I would also give his staff 5 stars as well.

My husband has been suffering from Parkinsons disease for over 15 years. When he decided to undergo DBS surgery, we consulted with leading neurosurgeons at the best medical centers in NY. We chose Dr. Michael G. Kaplitt because he was as attentive and as friendly as possible during the preliminary meetings. His explanations and instructions about the forthcoming operation were extremely professional and at the same time understandable to us. We will definitely recommend Dr. Michael G. Kaplitt to our friends and acquaintances.

Dr. Kaplitt was excellent. One of the most important qualities in a doctor, I think, is curiosity. Dr. Kaplitt patiently spent an hour with me (in person during Covid) gathering information to piece together the puzzle and explaining the medicine. So often people compartmentalize, and doctors are not immune from this. Dr. Kaplitt put my issues in full context rather than a narrow spectrum. He is a guy who thinks outside the box. I knew that I had his full attention, that he was interested in me, and that he wanted to figure this out and help me. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Kaplitt is a very caring and professional doctor. I went to see him about a neurological disorder I was diagnosed with and he was very thorough explaining about surgery. He also wanted to make sure I was diagnosed correctly. There is another neurological disorder that also have the same symptoms so we are waiting for the results of my MRI.

I found the staff and Dr. Kaplitt very efficient and caring. I appreciated his candor and his NP is also top notch. I was comfortable, and felt he explained the procedures so I can make a clear choice. Thank you.

This dr & his staff saved my life. He is amazing.

Honestly, Dr Kaplitt and staff are exceptionally the best. The attention and warmth they provide to a patient is unbelievable. I recommend him to anyone. Please go to him it is worth it.

Dr. Kaplitt provided a thorough and detailed explanation of my impending surgery and patiently addressed all my questions and concerns...He appeared to be capable and experienced in dealing with nph issues....

Dr Kaplitt is an exceptional Neurosurgeon and his expertise on helping those afflicted with Chronic Pain is Exceptional. I have unfortunately had many back surgeries and his staff is by far the very best! Christin is The very Best PA I have ever worked with, her knowledge of the Spine, Pain Management and the Procedures themselves is truly amazing! She is thorough, follows up and has compassion and empathy beyond words!! I would highly Recommend Dr Kaplitt and his staff 100%.

An expert in his field. Kind and dedicated. Professional and thorough in explaining everything.

Very clear explanation of what lies ahead in treatment of my normal hydrocephalus. Answered all questions. Excellent nursing support. I feel fortunate to have him as my neurosurgeon.

Doctor was very clear about the procedure.He spoke to my mother directly, did not refer to her as a third person.The rest of the staff, the RN, treated us very respectfully and also answered all of our questions.

All of my experiences with the Weill Cornell Neurology team have been fantastic. I do not think there is a more capable set of hands to entrust my brain to than Dr. Kaplitt.

I was very relaxed with the doctor and the doctor had all the answers for me the only thing has been changed I sleep on my right side and I like to have the apparatus on the left side. Enjoy your vacation and happy holidays, see you next year

Wonderful opportunity to get info on choices to treat Parkinsons.

I would highly recommend dr kaplitt and his staff. He is knowledgable, courteous, professional and takes his time explaining things to you. I am very happy that my husband is in his care.

Takes time to explain, very knowledgeable. I feel very confident with him.

Dr Kaplitt was very informative and made me feel very comfortable. I like Dr Kaplitt approach on how he was going to proceed with my surgery he made me feel very assuring that everything would work out fine. And I was in very capable hands.

Dr. Kaplitt was complete and thoughtful with the answers to questions. He engaged in frendly conversation which created a comfortable atmosphere.

I am perfectly happy with the service I received and proud I have a Doctor and staff that treat me with such great service and respect. I have turned down other Doctors to have the best and THANK YOU. Doctor Kaplitt is the best and proud to have him as my doctor.

I met Dr. Kaplitt first time on January 2nd, 2019. He was very professional, explained in details all about my future spinal cord stim surgery. Spent with me a very long time, didnt leave even 1 question unanswered. He gave me hope, this means so much for me! Thank you Dr. Kaplitt!

The doctor and his staff instilled confidence from the moment we arrived. no shrift was cut short, no question ignored. im quite content with the thought of dr. kaplitt poking around in my brain.

Dr. Kaplitt is an excellent doctor. I came for a consultation for focused ultrasound. He explained it to me along with possible side effects. He was clear and considerate. I respect him. Although, after having a CT scan, I am not a good candidate, I learned something and I am glad I had the consultation with Dr. Kaplitt and his NP.

Straight shooter. Great doctor.

Very professional.
